In their rush to strip power from Roy Cooper, Republican legislative bosses talked about a going-away present for Pat McCrory: free health-care coverage for life.

That perk fell by the wayside, however. Which just proves that karma is real.

Maybe now McCrory feels the pain of the hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians who didn’t get health care because he didn’t expand Medicaid.

Maybe he can get an Obamacare policy. Oh, wait….Never mind.
